[Faith/Scholar] Buried Alive

[xatria]

Built and played few times last night. I can't get it working well so looking for ideas if this deck is viable. When it did work, the opponent usually quit before I get to Novella Catacombs.

BURRIED ALIVE

Key Cards
5 x Burried Cathedral
2 x Novella Catacombs

Income
5 x Knowledge Has A Price
5 x Knowledge is Power

Discards
5 x Divine Intervention
5 x Answered Prayers
3 x Doomsday
2 x Devout Citizens

Drawers
2 x Daring Experiments
3 x In-depth Analysis
2 x Quick Study

Control
4 x Wrath of Righteous and/or Animus Reboot
3 x History Glitch
2 x Scientific Espionage
2 x Slow Study


TACTICS
Discard opponent hands and reboot / wrath the board.
Put down Buried Cathedral to dump their sequence ASAP (3x Cathedral = 12 cards dumped daily)
Lock by discarding opponent daily draw using Citizens.
Novella Catacombs (win if opponent sequence is empty).

Using Reboot handles sites well but it also destroys the Buried Cathedral. I put 4 Wraths and 2 Slow Study for now but it wont handle sites well enoguh.

What problems are you facing?

[xatria]

Handling sites without destroying Cathedrals. Media's Easy Come, Easy Go is perfect but can't have it..

Maybe I should reboot first and then put down the Cathedrals. However, the nice thing about having Cathedrals down early is that they can dump opponent good cards early.

why not use the combo: Inpending Pandemic/Doomsday. You can then replay ure sites, and he just lost everything he has, except launching cards.

It's a huge combo to get to after a citizen lock, which, if you get through, you've pretty much won, no matter how you kill. Unless you left too much on the board.

I would just drop them anyway. If you get a lock it doesn't matter if you destroy your cathedrals.

How does the deck run currently? What problems are you running into besides handling sites?

[xatria]

I have another deck that have Impending Academic/Doomsday combo but it needs to 14 gold to pull off.

It loses way more than it wins. I suspect Knowledge Has A Price gives too much advantage to opponent. I may switch to Plentiful Corps to see how it is. It totally loses to sites for sure.

Another problem is that, it's boring to wait for Catacombs once the lock is in effect. I think I'll put this on hold for now until I have more time to tune it (if it's even tunable).

The other discard deck is more promising but it doesn't work without more copies of Ancestral Discovery which I only have 1 of.

Thanks for the feedback, guys!
